Description: This is a fully embroidered 3rd Armored Division patch with a merrowed edge. It is the full color version. The patch measures approximately 3-3/4 inches in width by 4inches in height. This patch is new old stock. The 3rd Armored Division, nicknamed Spearhead, was activated on 15 April 1941 at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. The 3rd first saw combat during WWII on 29 June 1944 in France. The Division was the "spearhead" of the First Army through the Normandy Campaign. Thus, the nickname. On 10 September 1944, the 3rd Armored fired what it claimed was the first American field artillery shell into Germany. It also saw action during the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, the 3rd served occupation duty in Germany until 10 November 1945 when it was inactivated. It was reactivated 15 July 1947 at Fort Knox, Kentucky. In May 1956, the Division was moved back to Germany, where it remained until July 1992, this with the exception of time when the 3rd participated in the Gulf War. The 3rd Armored Division was inactivated on 17 October 1992. Great for a veteran of the Division, a collector of Armored units, or a general patch collector! I only have a small supply of these, so grab one while they last. I do have more than one of these, so you may not get the exact one that is pictured. The one pictured is representative of the condition of each patch. The one you will receive will be very similar to the one show in the photos. I combine shipping on all items purchased and shipped at the same time. Place items in your cart and then select "Request total." I will respond with an invoice reflecting exact shipping charges and order total. Don't worry if you forget or this doesn't work for you, I will refund any shipping difference from the actual shipping total. Otherwise, you can message me. Terms of sale: * I will leave feedback upon receiving your feedback. This is part of my quality control. By doing this, I know you are pleased with your order. * Please do not commit to buy an item unless you intend on following through with the purchase. Non-payment issues are automatically turned over to eBay in 4 days after no payment is received. * If you have an issue with your item, please contact me before lodging any complaints with eBay or leaving negative feedback. Most issues can be worked out very easily. * Payment by PayPal is expected within 3 days after purchase. Your PayPal account will let you pay by PayPal balance, credit card, or by "eCheck," directly from your bank account. Please be advised that orders paid by eCheck process slower (just like a paper check) and may be delayed until the funds have cleared your account. If payment is not received after a total of 4 days, the transaction will be considered null and void. The matter will then be turned over to eBay as a non-payment issue. I reserve the right to re-list the item if payment is not received within the 4 day specified time. Negative feedback may be left for the non-paying bidder based on a totality of the circumstances. * If an item is returned to me because the address provided was not correct or if the buyer refuses a shipment or does not pick it up from the post office, the buyer will be responsible for paying shipping fees to have the package re-shipped to them. * All items are shipped with a tracking number.

I mail only to the address that is listed with PayPal to help prevent any fraud from occurring. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience, but I can not make any exceptions. I do combine shipping if you purchase multiple items on the same day or before I ship your package (which is usually within 24 hours after the auction closes or a purchase is made. Ebay no longer requires postal insurance nor allows me to charge for it. Contact me if this is an issue. The price can be added to the total shipping fee if wanted. This is for the buyer to decide.All shipping quotes are for shipping within the USA. Shipping outside of the USA is extra. I use the eBay Global Shipping Program for international shipping.

Tools carry a specific manufacturers warranty, so you will have to deal directly with the manufacturer if there is an issue with their product not working properly. This also applies to their lifetime warranty. I assume no liability for items lost or damaged in transit.
